My dog has an armpit spot. Should I see a vet or can it wait?

Question

I found this spot in my dog's armpit. Should I go to have it checked out by the doctor? I am planning to take her in for a checkup in a few weeks to review the results of a food change. Can it wait until then?

This spot looks quite small, and it doesn't appear infected from your picture. If it isn't bothering your dog, isn't getting bigger, and doesn't get infected (red, swollen, warm to touch, pus), then it can wait until her check up in a few weeks. Should any of the things I mentioned above happen, then I would take her into a vet sooner. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
